    Description

    DIRECTOR,
    INDIVIDUAL GIVING

    NEW YORK


    Who We Are and What We Believe:

    Founded in 1997, Bottom Line is a nationally recognized
    nonprofit organization with a mission to partner with
    degree-aspiring students of color from under-resourced communities
    as they get into college, graduate, and go far in life. We achieve
    this mission by providing one-on-one guidance during the college
    application process through college graduation and the successful
    launch of their careers.

    Our vision is to dramatically transform urban communities by
    producing thousands of new career-ready college graduates.

    When you join Bottom Line, you will find a rewarding,
    fast-paced, results-oriented environment. We build strong
    relationships with our students and with each other. We take
    our work seriously, and we know that a focus on data and metrics is
    integral to our continued success. Experts in our fields, we are
    driven by our mission and extremely proud of the work we do.

    What You Will Do:

    With a key focus on individuals and relationships, the Director
    of Individual Giving is a key member of the Development Team. The
    director will have a $750,000 individual giving revenue goal that
    they meet through managing a portfolio of donors and prospects,
    cultivating new donors, and overseeing the planning and execution
    of cultivation events. This position is based in our New York
    office with some local travel required.

    The New York region is entering our second decade of operations
    and we are positioning ourselves to serve ~2,500 students by FY30.
    To meet this goal, we must increase our annual operating budget by
    ~$3 million. As a member of the Development Team, the Director of
    Individual Giving will play a leadership role in this growth by
    cultivating and stewarding community members as individual donors
    to Bottom Line. You will manage the New York region's individual
    giving portfolio, support with planning and executing the annual
    benefit, and implement strong systems and processes to ensure a
    positive donor experience.

    A strong candidate for the Director of Individual Giving is
    someone who derives joy in building authentic relationships with
    donors and actively leveraging those relationships in order to
    secure financial support for the organization. You are inspired to
    build the champions we need for our growth and thrive in one-to-one
    conversations with donors. You understand how to motivate major
    donors to give and how to nurture their engagement with Bottom
    Line. You are excited about the opportunity to build this portfolio
    for the New York regions and play a leadership role in building a
    new Major Gifts program.
